River Little Ouse Navigation. & Waveney The Little Ouse is a river in the east of England, a tributary of the River Great Ouse. For much of its length it defines the boundary between Norfolk and Suffolk. It rises east of Thelnetham, very close to the source of the River Waveney. The source of the Little Ouse is a ditch on the west side of the B1113 road between the villages of Redgrave, Suffolk and South Lopham, Norfolk. The ditch on the other side of the road is the source of the River Waveney. The village with the curious name of Blo' Norton owes this name to the river - it was earlier known as Norton Bell-'eau, from being situated near this 'fair stream'.

The course continues through Rushford, Thetford and Brandon, and it joins the Great Ouse north of Littleport in Cambridgeshire. The total length is about 60 km. The river is currently navigable from the Great Ouse to a point 3 km above Brandon.The river system originally had a distinctive system of wooden locks known as staunches, replaced by one lock which is only 9ft by 36 long! Thetford used to be at the height of the navigation of the Ouse / Little Ouse, and its location in the centre of East Anglia at a strategic crossing point of routeways was its reason. The most distinctive feature of the headwaters of the Little Ouse and the Waveney is the valley in which they flow; the Little Ouse westwards and the Waveney, eastwards. It has a broad, fenny bottom, lies at an altitude of up to 26 metres and both rivers rise in the fen alongside the B1113 road, between South Lopham and Redgrave. The explanation of this oddity is that the valley was formed, not by these rivers but by water spilling from Lake Fenland.

It is thus claimed that during periods of heavy rainfall Norfolk can be considered to be an island. This was a periglacial lake of the Devensian glacial, fifteen or twenty thousand years ago. The ice sheet closed the natural drainage from The Wash so that a lake of a complex shape formed in the Fenland basin. This valley was its spillway into the southern North Sea basin, thence to the English Channel basin, which at the time, contained no sea. Great Ouse Boating Association, IWA's Cambridge Branch, East Anglian Waterways Association and other partners have embarked on a joint project to look into the possibilities of extending navigation of the Little Ouse from its current head of navigation at Brandon town centre to Thetford. Small craft can already reach Santon Downham, 2ï¿½ miles upstream from Brandon Lock. A study by consultants in 2003, co-ordinated by EA, into the feasibility of restoring the river from Brandon to Thetford has indicated that four new locks would be needed.

Diss Golf Club in Diss, Norfolk Tweets about "diss golf club" Welcome to Diss Golf Club - Diss, Norfolk Founded in 1903, the Club, sited in Suffolk, is just to the south of the River Waveney, which forms the natural boundary between the Counties of Suffolk & Norfolk. This has ensured that ever since its formation, the Club has looked to Suffolk for its competition rather than Norfolk, the county in which the town stands. Surviving two world wars and the recurring, daunting financial constraints of those early times, the Club is now thriving. The story of the first 100 years is recorded in an interesting book which was produced for the centenary year celebrations. Golf competition is generally played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known simply as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes during a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play. Stroke play is the most commonly seen format at virtually all levels of play, although variations of match play such as "skins" games are also seen in televised events. Other forms of scoring also exist. The main website for Diss Golf Club can be found here .
